"We don't know how to do a show without spending all our money on lights and fireworks" 🤣 love them so much!

[@ttmt98]

5 seconds in and Chris has already got me laughing. How can you not love this man!??!

[@lynlunsford5337]

So true

[@oc_vatsal_1197]

I don't think its humanly possible for someone to be more humble than this guy

[@kimjenkins2233]

You don't have to see these guys perform to love them. They could do a tour doing just interviews and you would have to become fans of the amazing people they are. You never go away without a good laugh and a smile. Love Higher Power.

that part is so funny 🤣 that shows how much respect they have for Will. in fact Chris said he's the anchor of the band, so sweet

Ever feel down and that your Higher Power has taken a walk, plug back in and watch anything with Chris/Coldplay and instantly reignited to a higher way of living and feeling great joy. I always have a massive smile 😀 back on my face, almost grinning like a Cheshire Cat because I love them so much. Thank God they are back and bringing light and music back into our much needed world. Absolutely love Whitby too and the Abbey is stunning

People often ask Chris about how he makes music and he answers that it comes from somewhere. People probably never asked, but the same thing must be happening for his humour.
